NCR gets approval for Faridabad-Noida-Ghaziabad Expressway

economictimes.indiatimes.com

The Haryana government has approved the construction of the Faridabad-Noida-Ghaziabad Expressway. This project aims to improve travel and reduce traffic congestion in the National Capital Region (NCR). A notable feature of the expressway is a 600-meter bridge over the Yamuna River, which will be shared equally in costs by Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. This approval brings good news for many residents in the Delhi-NCR area. The expressway will enhance connectivity between Faridabad, Noida, and Ghaziabad. Traffic issues have long plagued these regions, and the new expressway is expected to ease some of these problems and boost economic growth. The project has been in discussion for nearly two decades, originally proposed by the Noida Authority. However, construction efforts were delayed until now. The approved plans include the bridge near Lalpur village, ensuring that both state governments will equally cover costs associated with it. Currently, there is no direct road connecting Faridabad to Noida, forcing travelers to route through Delhi's Kalindi Kunj. The FNG Expressway will create the first direct link between Faridabad and Uttar Pradesh. Every day, over 100,000 people travel between these regions for work and personal matters, which highlights the need for better infrastructure.
